We had so much fun at our St David's Day event that we forgot to take any pictures!😭
Except this wonderful one of the lovely Jolene, who has been instrumental in the set up and organisation of the Events committee and our events so far.

Thank you Jolene!

We did it again. We raised an amazing £111.51 at the St David's Day event. Diolch Pawb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿!!
